Preservation

He is moving on
leaving this place
Not like a sad country song
Or some drunken low class tale
of suitcases in the night
and slammed doors

He is going
Setting sail away
Like a healing wound
Or the slow growing of sapling
to shady tree and
home for hammock

I will let him
Because on my scales
All of this love I hold
and all of the love he holds
can't outweigh the present pain
and problematic pathos

I will let him
